Lucy Parsons the Martyr.

Gu CAGo, Sept. A.-Mrs. Parsons, wife
Of the condemned anarchist was ar
raigned before Jurtice Lyon this morn
ing for violating the city ordinance
against the distribution OF circulars on
the streets. In the court Mrs. Parsons
assumed the air OF a martyr, she
claimed that the ordinance was
a dead law. Il hope, she said pleadingly
to the justice, that you will
remember where my husband is and
deal with me as you would wish your
own wife to be dealt with under similar
circumstances. The justice continued
the case until Tuesday, allowing Mrs.
Parsons to depart on her own recogniz-

Cholera At New York and Naples.

Cholera At New York and Naples.
New YORK, Sept. "a The cholera in
fected steamship, Alesia, is undergoing
q thorough fumigatiOn and disinfection
while lying in the lower bay. Her
crew and passengers will have to re-
main on Hoffman island for at least one
week. The disease, according to health
officers. was of a alternating nature.
The germs would live through
he winter and develop In
the spring. Two of the
sick emigrants appear to be improving
somewhat. Many people who were on
board the Alesia undoubtedly fed from
the epidemic which is now raging in
Italy. At least one of the passengers
was sick when the steamer left Naples,
but 1t was not then known that the dis
ease was cholera. The steamers which
hereafter arrive from the Med
iterranean will be subjected to
very close examination by the
health officer. The steamer Indiana
which arrived of quarantine last even
ing from Palermo, Naples and Messins,
was closely examined for cholera cases.
None were found, however. The In
diana's bill OF health from Naples,
signed by Edward Campusena, United
States consul, states that there are many
cases of cholera a. Naples and
vicinity, and that 20 per cent Of the cases
are fatal. The Palermo bill OF health,
signed by U. s. Consul Phillips, states
the death rate there to be fifteen per
day. The Messina's bill of health,
signed by United States Consul W. 5.
Jones, states there are an average Of
five cases day. The Indiana sailed
from Naples two days later than the
Alesia.

the public ear little peculiarly to read
such an announcement, as the labor or
CARNATIONS, which are supposed to lie
back Of the United Labor party, do not
